What kind of lights, just something to grab the cops attention, or something that benefits you? Cause an HID kit is the coolest thing on the old school trucks. For yours you need an "H3" HID kit in your desired color, and two H3 composite housings from a company like VisionX or someone like that. I have them on my 1st gen and they are super cool and of great benefit to me driving. Check my thread below if you are curious to see what they look like. I also have red grill lights on the truck, and they look cool. I gave a shot of silver flake paint on the front of the radiator and it tripled the light reflected back off the rad and looks really sinister.

Off road are flood lights - shorter distance & wider. Lots out there depending on your budget you can get anything from $20 a pair to $300 a pair. My Piaa 520i fog lights are awsome & I use them as driving lights on the highway because the 85 watt bulb patterns light up so well. Orange but they light it up & cost $200/pair.

Also some driving lights are great to use. Mounted low, pencil beams that reach out to 300 yards.
